Even if you're so drunk you almost can't get it up, it's still a choice. It's not fair to expect the person you're in a relationship with to only think sexually about you. But it is definitely fair to expect him to be faithful. If he feels being faithful is difficult, it's probably not because he fantasizes about other people, but because he has some other issues either with himself or with the current relationship. So I wouldn't worry too much about this, but if you are wondering if he really is the kind of person who's able to stay faithful in a life-long relationship, it's probably a good idea to talk about this so you can know what's going on and maybe be proactive in some way if that helps you.

Thanks for your reply! It's good to read your perspective. It's helping me wrap my mind around this circumstance, separating my heightened insecurity from the real problem(s). This is something I have to address with him. I need to know whether he believes he can stay faithful in this relationship. I feel like a very empathic person and I can sense this hidden fear within him, which then shoots my negative thoughts through the roof. It's time I address this vicious cycle. Thanks for your input!
